Try and look down the pipe and see if the internal pipe is damaged. If not then is should not effect performance but might effect noise.
If it was mine i would get 6"x4" patch cut out, straighten it then get a new section welded in.
Or you could just cut the hole box cut out and just weld in a straight bit of stainless pipe.

i would do that but would be concerned about track testing as i do a fair bit, although it is 86 Db @6k with a decat lol!

another option, dont know if it taking the centre secttion out would cause issues with the twinloop system.

Wouldnt cause any issues other than being louder and you have just had your car mapped which is ashame if you have to change the exhaust.

Did Will not see your exhaust? as im pretty sure he would have told you about it. I'd ask him what he thinks.


If it was mine i'd probably get a good custom exhaust centre to replace it with another resonated box unless you want your exhaust louder that is !
 
nope he didnt see it, dont think he needed to go under the car??

He probably didnt have a look but he may have noticed a restriction in the exhaust on the dyno while mapping hence he may then have looked !

he did,, maybe this is why teh car did not put out what was expected when mapped, certainly warrants further investigation, whip that B pipe off man and shove a torch down tehre and have a look, :drive:
